1worker1vote is building a national network of hybrid, shared ownership, regional and municipal ecosystems starting with unionized worker-owned cooperative businesses to overcome structural inequalities of opportunity, mobility, and income. Building pathways out of poverty leading to pathways toward prosperity.

Bringing the solidarity of unions, the business skills of cooperative owners and the strength of a national like-minded network together to create jobs, share investment opportunities, and cross-train worker-owners.

A union co-op is a for-profit business owned and directed by workers. Union co-ops operating under the Mondragon principles make sure no worker community - organized, unorganized, or alternative - is left behind.

The haters, enablers, dividers and dictators are winning; there is no uplifting alternative vision stronger than reactive selfishness, greed, disgust and fear with enough bipartisan power and inspiration to prevail. Echoing Democratic Party legislative…
